Well the update is I FINISHED IT!!!
6 weeks of hard work, dedication and a belief in myself! Oh and sunburns, some bruises, a couple cuts to my hands, laughs and some profanity. 🤓 My kids helped motivate me at times when I was exhausted.
21 old 8 foot wood panels removed
Almost 400 pickets
63 Eight foot 2x4’s
3 boxes of screws
5 posts replaced
3 gates replaced
Drills, saws, more saws, another saw with another name😆, levels, cut gloves, etc…
Mind you I picked all of these items up slowly in my car! The guy at the lumber yard gate and I became pals.
Now that it’s finished, I can’t believe I did it! I have NEVER in my life done anything close to this.
Looking back this project has several metaphors for my life. I’ve gone through some major life changes the last few years. Single mom re-figuring out life! I’m getting rid of the old and replacing with the new. Gates that didn’t work before, now open. I can do anything with time and dedication. I love the direction my life is headed.
P.S. If you want to see my progress...hop over to my Instagram page;)
Thanks for listening;)
